They are the two most senior Conservatives to urge May to change course on Brexit after last week's disastrous election result for the party.

It will also remain constant over neighbouring states like Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Meghalaya, and Assam . Eight people were killed in Tlabung, Lunglei district, south Mizoram, in the past two days. In Assam, the districts of Lakhimpur, Darrang and Hailakandi have been hit by floods affecting almost 14,000 people in 39 villages there, a report from the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) stated on Wednesday.

A high street pub has become a donation centre for people who want to help the victims of the Grenfell Tower blaze.

Witnesses said that they saw people jumping from the upper floors.

Fire chiefs said it was too early to speculate on the cause of the blaze. At St. Clement's Church, where evacuees gathered, Hadra Hassad was trying to find one of her closest friends, who lived on the 21st floor.
